Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-67:
-------------------------------------
Another comment on the existing splash screen code is that it takes too long
for the splash image to actually appear--in my own NetBeans Platform
application, for instance, 32% of the time that the splash screen window is
open before it disappears, the window is just gray (see blanksplash.png,
attached). It would be nice to somehow get the loaded image to show immediately
as the splash screen opens. Though not sure if there's an easy way to do that.
> Replace Java SplashScreen with a custom window.

> Unfortunately the Java SplashScreen feature is not well maintained. It looks
> really odd on Linux multi-monitor displays trying to arrange the screen on
> the middle of the two monitors. I think the intention of this Java feature
> was to create prompt response to the user on opening a Java application. Well
> disk and hardware get quicker and Java get leaner on load (with Java 9).
> This feature could be replaced by using a custom window instead.
> This would improve on two things:
> - Placement of the Splash Screen could be really multi-monitor aware
> - There is a flicker on startup for those who are upgrading from dev/release
> candidate to final release. The first image says developer version then it
> updates to release
> I'm trying to work something out. Though there is some chance to have some
> interference with the platform branding.
